The Italian Garden at Great Ambrook

The Italian Garden

This is a small group (10-12 people), guided walking tour of The Italian Garden at Great Ambrook. Learn about the unique story of the garden, its creator and architect and see the restoration work in progress. The garden was designed and built between 1909 and 1912 by local architect Thomas Lyon for the wealthy owner of Great Ambrook estate, Arthur Graham, but was lost to nature for decades from the 1960s and only rediscovered in the late 1980s.The garden is actively under restoration and very much a work-in-progress with uncleared areas, uneven paths and no facilities on site. Visitors must come equipped with sturdy walking shoes. There is limited parking at the garden so car sharing where possible is encouraged. Visits will be cancelled the day before if adverse weather is forecast.These tours are currently being offered at a discounted rate for the above reasons. If you would like to make an additional donation to our restoration project, any contribution towards our replanting fund would be very welcome! The garden is a not-for-profit charitable interest company.<a href="https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/italiangardenambrook" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Make a donation towards replanting the Dell Garden </a><a href="https://www.facebook.com/ItalianGardenAmbrook" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Follow us on Facebook </a><a href="https://www.instagram.com/italiangardenambrook/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Follow us on Instagram</a>
